been to france a couple of times before not been up to much but thought paris would be better i was wrong.started getting ripped off straight away 60 euros for a five minute taxi ride to my 4 star hotel which was a dive,better accomadation in my garage.
the streets were filthy world record amount of dog poo to dodge.shops were all overpriced bars dull and 5 euros a half.
everytime you cross a road in paris you risk your life they drive around like maniacs,i am certainly not one of the anti speeding brigade but 80 mph during the day in a packed city centre is a bit ott,i did not see one car on my visit without at least one dint .the popular catchphrase in paris in the shops each time they have your eyes out is "well it is paris".well you can keep it.biggest laugh of all was in duty free cigs and booze much cheaper in asda.
